The Mets' 2 Dominican Summer League teams kicked off.The teenagers are getting after it.One team won its first game, the other lost.Of note:Gilberto Espinosa went 4 for 4 with 3 doubles as a DH. The 18 year old had about 70 ABs in the DSL last year, so what a way to start this season. How about 5 for 5 today, Gilberto?His teammate, LF Jean Carlos Soto, born 4-3-2000 (yep, 2000, people) was 3-4 with 2 RBIs, tying him in RBIs with former DSL-er Juan Lagares.More games, more stories. Rookie ball seasons start in 2 weeks, post-draft.
